From my limited knowledge of HRMS files these appear to be payroll files for Japan legislation which we do not use since we are strictly based in the US. I want to make sure I do not harm my instance applying this merged patch if these two files have "lossy conversion". We are not licensed for, nor do we use any of the Japan HR/Payroll functionality in EBS. I also posted a similar message in the EBS - Patching community forum.
